Welcome to the creation of the 2024 Quad Play – Julius Caesar.
A note from the Director
William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar explores the themes of power, politics and greed. Despite being written in 1599, it remains incredibly relevant today.
This year we chose to reimagine the play into a modern-day world setting, drawing on the notion of how social and mass media influence politics today. On our stage, the citizens of Rome are being bombarded with a cacophony of mis/information. Rumours spread, truths and
untruths are told, and confusion escalates, while some, who are staunch in their beliefs, find a dangerous voice louder than ever before. People are divided and war inevitably unfolds with devastating consequences.
It was a pleasure to present Julius Caesar in this 50th anniversary year.
